How does Chapter 36 transition from its philosophical introduction to the next story?

Chapter 36 makes a deliberate transition from its introductory and philosophical passages to the next narrative. After describing the power of Sai's stories and the nature of Sai himself, the text explicitly prepares the audience by stating, "Let it be; now listen respectfully to the most holy life story of Sai (Sai Charitra)." It offers a blessing that the ears of listeners and mouths of speakers may be purified. Immediately following this setup, as mentioned in Chapter 36, the text signals the beginning of the new tale by introducing its subjects with the simple, direct line: "The Two Gentlemen from Goa."
